A solo sailor transits from San Pedro, California, to Two Harbors on Catalina Island in early December, motor-sailing the majority of the 18-nautical-mile trip. The passage involves managing a 135% genoa and a double-reefed main in light winds and 2-to-4-foot swells. The sailor monitors AIS to coordinate port-to-port and stern-crossing maneuvers with commercial shipping traffic, including the *Ocean Reliance*, *Utah Voyager*, and *Del Monte Harvester*.25:57 The vessel utilizes a Balmar MC-618 charge controller to manage the charging profile of a lithium iron phosphate battery bank from the alternator.5:30 Upon arrival at Two Harbors, the sailor anchors in 93 feet of water, noting the presence of heavy kelp during the morning departure.20:10 An Espar forced-air diesel heater provides cabin climate control during the overnight stay.21:08 The trip concludes with a return transit through the Angel’s Gate entrance to Los Angeles Harbor, where the sailor maintains a conservative distance from outbound tugs and inbound tankers.31:46
